    Perfect room--compact but modern and well appointed with big windows, good bed and pillows, clean, nice bathroom and shower. Fantastic location in the very heart of Castro. Other guests were friendly as was everyone in the neighborhood. Wish I could have stayed longer and that all my hotels suited me as well as this.

    Great location in the Castro area. Using keypad with special code, as no front desk, was fine and we had no problem accessing the room. Noise was not a problem even though we were on the second floor by the street. Bathroom great. Little "living space", but not a problem as we were there to shower and sleep. Bed comfy, though have to climb end from the end of the bed as no room on the sides to exit.Knew going in that it was only 200sq ft. Would stay again.
